PAL DVD interlace problem

[signal]

Could someone be kind enough to confirm what I'm seeing here?

This particular PAL DVD starts out as a typical 24fps film sped up to 25fps and progressive frames split over two fields.
Awesome.. no interlacing/telecine to mess with.

Or so I thought. About 16 minutes in it looks like a single field is getting dropped causing successive frames to be non progressive.

The rest of the vobs show the same problem until 1hr and 6 minutes later when it is correct again (total film length is 1hr 36min).

This doesn't happen at any vob/chapter transition.

DGIndex doesn't show any anomalies and watching the original dvd from disc in VLC confirms the same thing.

I started looking at using SeperateFields(), drop the problem frame/field, combine fields again but not having much luck yet.
Thought some other eyes on this to confirm what's happening would be more helpful at this point.

Here is a sample 2min vob made with vobsplit (without any re-encoding), my d2v, and avs to show frame number.
The issue starts at frame 1213.

looks like it must have come off an analog source and lost sync at some point, either during dubbing or capture/encode (most likely it's from analog-digital tape dubbing).

try telecide with no post-processing. try to narrow down which frames the shifts happen on and make sure nothing is lost (most likely you'll be missing a field in these cases, which could show as a dropped frame after telecide processing).

i think telecide should handle it well enough.

This thread appears doubled. The other one should be deleted.

It could be the movie once was in a hard-telecined stage, has been IVTC'ed by a DEFT machine or whatever, and something went not quite right on the way. If you look *closely* at the 'progressive' sections, you'll find buckloads of residual-combing artifacts ...

I'd push the whole thing through TFM(pp=0), and follow up with

function daa(clip c) {
nn	= c.nnedi3(field=-2)
dbl   	= merge(selecteven(nn),selectodd(nn))
dblD 	= mt_makediff(c,dbl,U=3,V=3)
shrpD 	= mt_makediff(dbl,dbl.removegrain((width(c)>1100) ? 20 : 11),U=3,V=3)
DD 	= shrpD.repair(dblD,13)
return dbl.mt_adddiff(DD,U=3,V=3) }
